Ultrastructure of Micromonas pusilla (Butcher) Manton et Parke
细小微胞藻的超微结构研究

A strain of Micromonas pusilla, widely distributed in the Yellow Sea, was isolated from the coast area of Qingdao. Its morphology and fine structure were studied by electronic microscope. The cells were characterized by a laterally attached flagellum terminating in a long and slender hair-point. No cell wall or surface scales were observed outside the cell membrane. The internal structure was very simple, composed of a single plastid with a large central pyrenoid, a nuclear, a single mitochondrion, and a Golgi complex.
